A How to Host a Murder Mystery Party Game

Arthur E. Faxe, the eccentric entrepreneur and amateur archaeologist, sails this month for
ancient Mesopotamia in search of human fossils and in the hope of proving the Darwinian
Theory of Evolution. Faxe has chosen a region of the Tigris-Euphrates Valley known since
ancient times as Vages for the site of his expedition. This area is distinguished by an
immense and prominent boulder that can be seen for miles and is known locally as the Rock
of Vages. A small cleft, or opening, at the base of the rock is the site of an unusual
collection of fossils. The cleft, discovered in 1854 by French archaeologist, Henri
Formie, is described in scientific literature as Rock of Vages, Cleft Formie. By
arrangement with the local government, Faxe and his entourage will establish an extensive
camp in an abandoned military fort near the archaeological site and overlooking the Tigris
River.
